I can assure you that if anyone recommends feeding in a separate container, they are not a snake expert. Listen to the breeder and feed in her enclosure.
Use a cage hook to hook train the snake and to remove or manipulate the snake in its enclosure.
Your snake will not starve itself. Make sure the F/T prey is sufficiently warm, and use tongs to simulate movement. It will catch on eventually.
